RE: "no ip bootp server" vs "ip dhcp bootp ignore"

That makes sense. Thanks Shine.

Please correct me if my interpretation below is wrong.

"no ip bootp server" ignores all bootp requests (including those
interface configured with helper-address)

"ip dhcp bootp ignore"

- ignores all bootp request from those interfaces that do not have "ip
helper-address" configured.

- The router will forward bootp requests coming to interfaces with "ip
helper-address" configured to the IP address specified.

BTW, is there anyway we can tested this feature out in a lab
environment? I mean, is there anyway we can use a router to generate
bootp requests (simulate old legacy stations).

Huan,

These two commands are not mutually exclusive.

Ip dhcp bootp ignore can be used to selectively ignore the bootp
requests from a subnet.

The following link explains them with examples.

HTH,

Hi GS,

Are there any differences btw these two commands:

no ip bootp server
ip dhcp bootp ignore

From the command reference, it looks like that the later is just a newer
command, that replaces the privious legacy one.

For this sort of new command introduction, no matter how I type (e.g.
for IP SLA, RTR, SAA) I would expect the config appears in IOS in the
newest format.

However, when I type the old command command "no ip bootp server" in
IOS, it appears exactly as I type, and not the the newer command "ip
dhcp bootp ignore", as I would expect.

Any thought to share please?

Huan
